    Sigh.

    New boss: “You’re good at writing notes.”

    Me: “Thank you, it helps me to remember so I have been writing summaries for many years.”

    New boss: “You should try CoPilot and see what it can do.”

    Me: “Well I enjoy summarizing my notes, and it helps me to learn and remember.”

    New boss: “Let me show you something I did in CoPilot.”

    Ugh. Writing it myself helps me LEARN and REMEMBER. Why are these AI zombies so intent on changing a process that is helpful to me? Feeding notes through CoPilot won’t benefit me when it’s the act of writing that works for me.

      @VeeRat

      Also, Copilot literally makes shit up when it takes notes. There are a dozen malpractice lawsuits in the system right now bc doctors used Copilot and its errors seriously endangered the lives of their patients.

      I know you can't, but you should just tell him "I prefer my notes to be accurate".

        @VeeRat I had to explain to someone that the act of taking the notes is 99% if the value for me. I almost never actually go back and read them. For me also, paper is better than electronic.

        But also zombies.

          As everyone knows, the process is meaningless. Only the outputs have any value.

                    @VeeRat There's this thing where people are indifferent to the results but intensely concerned everyone is doing things in the correct way.

                    A subset of the impulse to prescriptive norms, more or less; "this works for me, it has to work for you".

                      @VeeRat PS. I did a stint where the client culture was all to make notes quickly on their laptops. They NEVER remembered anything of it or even referred to them that I could see - because too many meetings seemed to hash over the same points over and over and over again. So that also.

                              @VeeRat So true. Often I'll write the notes and then never look at them again. The act of creating them is the point.

                              @tartley @VeeRat ^__ this. Writing the notes by hand forced my brain to funnel concept/content , filter the noise, focus, writing is thinking.

                                  Sigh.

                                  New boss: “You’re good at writing notes.”

                                  Me: “Thank you, it helps me to remember so I have been writing summaries for many years.”

                                  New boss: “You should try CoPilot and see what it can do.”

                                  Me: “Well I enjoy summarizing my notes, and it helps me to learn and remember.”

                                  New boss: “Let me show you something I did in CoPilot.”

                                  Ugh. Writing it myself helps me LEARN and REMEMBER. Why are these AI zombies so intent on changing a process that is helpful to me? Feeding notes through CoPilot won’t benefit me when it’s the act of writing that works for me.

                                  @VeeRat it’s all about “increasing productivity” and justifying spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on AI. If they can’t get employees to adopt it becomes a useless expense. I’ve been pushed to use AI for basically every aspect of my job. Writing emails, taking notes, sending messages, writing articles, etc.

                                    @VeeRat @YakyuNightOwl A significant benefit of AI tools for many people is specifically so they don't need to learn things themselves. That is probably why it is big with CEOs and other executives.

                                      Speculation: boss finds it difficult to take good notes and thus sees CoPilot’s notes as an improvement.

                                      You keep doing what you’re doing, which probably runs circles around the both of them.

                                        @VeeRat Suggests said AI-Boss is a bit lacking in natural-I.
